San Francisco-based payments firm SpotOn Transact has received $40m investment in a funding round led by investment manager Franklin Templeton.

Franklin was joined by Dragoneer Investment Group in the fundraising.

Utilising the fresh infusion, SpotOn intends to speed up its geographic expansion and grow its field sales team.

The firm also plans to raise the headcount at its SpotOn Restaurant division by 100.

Franklin vice president and portfolio manager Chris Anderson said: “Whether you’re a restaurant looking for a cloud-based point-of-sale solution, a salon looking to book appointments through a custom-built website, or an auto repair shop looking for ways to build relationships with customers, SpotOn has developed a variety of powerful solutions for all types of merchants.”

Launched two years back, SpotOn presently employs over 550 staff.
